Belo Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 The good lord visits you in your sleep and says he values your opinion. He has decided that there can only be 1 freshwater fish left and all others will be eliminated, what fish do you answer with? Be specific, not just trout but you must pick brook, rainbow etc. It's a hypothetical just for fun. Lets not worry about the ecological impacts lol.

The_Real_TCIII Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Actually I think Id have to go with the brown trout
Bucksnbows Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 I would have to say Atlantic salmon. Their jumps are incredible. The very first one I hooked on a 7 weight in Labrador leapt out of the river 4 times before I could even come tight after the take. But day to day, the non native wild brown trout that eats my dry fly is probably what I do most of. And that's from the Vice Chair - North for the Native Fish Coalition.

Spaceman Spiff Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Yellow perch, with northern pike as a close second. Edited March 17, 2023 by Spaceman Spiff Stubborn1vt 1
crappyice Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Trout.....fine Brown trout but man those river rainbows love to run and jump! Bucksnbows 1
2BuckBizCT Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Rainbow Trout if it has to live in NY/CT. But those triploid ones or whatever they called so they can get to 20-30lbs. But if I can adapt a fish, then maybe peacock bass. Edited March 17, 2023 by 2BuckBizCT

Wolc123 Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) No contest: That’s the last smallmouth bass I caught in mid October of 2022. Edited March 17, 2023 by Wolc123

Salmon, Flounder, Sole, Mahi, Chilean Sea Bass, Rainbow Trout, Branzino, etc. are all light years ahead of yellow perch in flavor. Or do you mean fried? in which case i have no idea. I wouldn't fry a healthy fish
